Ovarian laparotomy Cost in India

The cost of Ovarian laparotomy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

An ovarian laparotomy is open surgery through a cut in the tummy to remove an ovarian cyst or mass. The cost depends on:

• What is removed: cyst only, ovary, tubes or more.
• Suspected cancer: may need wider surgery and staging.
• Hospital stay: usually several days.
• Laboratory tests

Many ovarian cysts can be removed by keyhole surgery. Open surgery may be chosen for very large masses, suspected cancer, or extensive scarring. Royal United Hospitals Bath describes either a midline or a bikini-line cut.

The Bath leaflet notes that surgery may remove the mass, ovaries and tubes, and sometimes the womb, lymph nodes and the omentum. Results of tissue tests are usually discussed 10 to 14 days later.

After open surgery, the hospital stay is usually 3 to 5 days. Return to work may take 4 to 6 weeks or up to 12. Risks include bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs, blood clots and a later hernia.
